The "Monthly giving" view lets you view the total giving, number of givers or amounts given to a pledge for each month over the number of years you select. This can be helpful for comparing giving for the same month over multiple years.
- To access the "Monthly giving" view, open the Contributions module, click on the "Explore" tab, and then click the "Monthly giving" section.
- At the top of the window, you can choose from one of three views:
- Giving - This view shows the total dollar amount of giving per month
- Givers - This view shows the total number of givers who contributed per month
- Given to a pledge - This view shows the total dollar amount of giving that went towards fulfilling a pledge per month
- The "Fund field" will let you select if you want to see the giving/giver totals for all funds, or just one specific fund. Only active funds will be shown, unless you uncheck the "Hide inactive funds". box.
- The "Years" field lets you select the number of years you want to look at at once. The "Period" field lets you select what portion of the year you want to look at. The "Ending on" field lets you select what year you want to end on for the number of years you selected.
- The Graph will show the giving/givers for each month over the time period you selected, with each column representing one month, and each bar in that column representing each year.
- The table shows for each month, how much was given each year, and how many givers gave during that month in each year.
- Clicking Copy will copy the graph to the Windows Clipboard so you can paste it into another program. Clicking Export will export the table to your spreadsheet program.
